Show HN: Searchable archive of 900 books mentioned on Conversations with Tyler
- jackyli02 8mo agoHi HN! Conversations with Tyler episodes have a high density of book mentions - guests and Tyler constantly reference what they're reading. I kept pausing episodes to jot down the book mentions, so I figured I'd just extract them all. Book lists scraped from HN/podcasts aren't new. The difference is that now with LLMs, we no longer need custom ML pipelines (like in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28595967 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28595967). Thanks to Claude, each book also gets a quote (from the mentions in the podcast), tags, and a polished description. The quotes ended up being my favorite feature - they convey rich information and capture the characteristics of a book much better than a simple star rating would. Hope you all enjoy this and please lmk your suggestions & feedbacks!
